GWeN Map looks huge - pics

If you look at the map where GW:EN areas are close to Prophecies areas, you see the fog that I consider "Elonian," wherein it looks like a heavily fogged version of the eventual map when you explore it (Tyria and Cantha have the generic montage that gets stripped away, but gives you no clue of terrain beforehand). For the demonstration, I doubt it was necessary to have an active link with Prophecies, and since he was rolling cheats, I'm sure he could "skip ahead" to further in the storyline.

My point is this: the foggy area between Iron Horse Mine and the Norn territory is definitely another explorable. South Ascalon beyond Regent Valley is definitely another explorable. And the Ullen River actually looks LESS fogged than before, so I think there's a possibility of a mission pack or some-such in that area (run across the Mursaat homeland with Saul D'Alessio).

The Wizard's Tower is one of my favorite locations, if only because you can't get to it directly. It seems like GW:EN is removing the "no exploring in buildings" thing that all other campaigns have been limited to (considering you have your own explorable Hall of Monuments, and that whole Eye of the North thing), and in the process adding story tie-in's to let you visit some of those previously unexplorable places.

One last note: has anyone noticed that the area of land between the sunken Orr and the Crystal Desert has changed? I know it's barely a cosmetic change, but it makes me wonder...

EDIT: Finally got a look at the full high-res one, plus remembered a couple other things. In Prophecies, the Mursaat homeland was HEAVILY implied to be along the Ullen River. The Tarnished Coast may be south of it, but I get the feeling that the Mursaat still chilled out in the fogged area between Tangle Root and Riverside Province.

Also, there are a few "locked doors" I've seen in Tyria while exploring anywhere, some making zero sense at all. One is in Tasca's Demise, the standard Stone Summit door, shut. Another is on the far left border of Diessa Lowlands, a solid metal door in the middle of ruins (makes no sense).

The re-texture of the entire map in the Elonian style gives the possibility of more area in the following places:
-Above Yaks Bend/Iron Horse Mine
-Above Deldrimor Bowl and left of Anvil Rock
-North of Dragon's Gullet
-South of Regent Valley
-East of the Ruins of Surmia
-East of the Eastern Frontier
-East of Thirsty River

Finally, Orr and its connecting peninsula are not just different colors, but textured differently. I'm not going to say "uncoverable," because the texture is wrong for that, but I get the feeling that ANet is going to take this Mission Pack idea to the next level.
